Methods that are practical for moderate to small data sets become infeasible when applied to massive data sets. Advanced techniques such as binned kernel density estimation, tours, and mode-based projection pursuit will be explored. Mean-centered binning will be introduced as an improved method for binned density estimation. The density grand tour will be demonstrated as a means of exploring massive high-dimensional data sets. Projection pursuit by clustering components will be described as a means to find interesting lower-dimensional subspaces of data sets. 115 p. application/pdf eng Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
